Kasteelgaard

This website promotes a sustainable project involving an organic orchard. It is a one-page responsive PHP and JavaScript website. It includes a 12 minute film shot over several weeks.


The opening top banner consists of 3 layers. At the bottom, there is the actual film. Above this base layer there is a short film intro, which fades into view (while playing) some seconds after the top layer is loaded. This top layer consists of a random patchwork of vintage botanic sketches of fruits. At each page visit, a new sequence of these drawings is presented.

There are 2 instances of the film varying in resolution (and thus byte size) which are loaded depending on the device (e.g. mobile device or desktop). Device recognition is performed by an API call to a JavaScript based service. Therefore responsiveness is determined on actual device data and not pixel dimensions.

The film was shot with a Panasonic Varicam LT in 2K video recorded in Log format, with 10 bit color depth, and edited and color-corrected in Davinci Resolve.
